A love meditation for children

Roll out the red carpet and welcome your students to an exciting year of learning with our Rock 'n' Roll Classroom Welcome Sign! This eye catching and music-inspired welcome sign sets the stage for an engaging and dynamic classroom environment where students are the true rockstars of their education. The possibilities are endless with decorating - perhaps your students in rock n' roll poses or on vinyl discs?

Make sure you check out the Captivating Kids store for more Rock n' Roll themed classroom decor.

This book tasting menue provides students with a structured way to explore different books and genres. Divided into three sections - Appetizer, Entree, and Dessert - students can engage with a variety of questions that prompt them to think critically about the books they're interested in.

Whether used individually or in group settings, this Book Tasting Menu encourages students to discover new books, share their thoughts with peers, and foster a deeper appreciation for reading.

This is fully editable on PowerPoint

AAC/DEVICE - PROMPT CARD/REMINDER FOR OTHERS.

A practical and effective visual tool to increase independence for AAC users and support them in advocating for themselves and their 'voice' when they don't have access to their device. Our non speaking learners can often experience times where their device/AAC tool is in their bag or out of reach and their teachers/carers haven't thought to retrieve it for them. In instances like this, they may not be able to communicate that they need their device and sadly, miss out on many opportunities to engage, participate and express their needs, thoughts, and ideas.

Having this simple prompt card/reminder provides learners with a way of getting someone's attention and accessing their 'voice'.

Print, laminate, and attach to their desk, wheelchair, wall, visual schedule, or lanyard/keychain- anywhere that is easily accessible for them!

2 options available- 'I need my device please' and 'I need my AAC'. 4 sizes available for each option.

Please feel free to email me if you are looking for particular sizing or visual, and I will see what I can do :-) - colourfulcommunicationtherapy@gmail.com

Please remember to place feedback and check out/follow my store for lots more wonderful resources and visual supports!

Thank you! :-)

This Valentine's Day, teach your students about healthy relationships in a fun way!

This resource will allow students to learn three different qualities that all healthy relationships should include.

Students will learn that these qualities are essential for any relationship in their life-whether it be platonic or romantic.

A HUGE thank you to https://www.TeachShare.com/Store/Krista-Wallden-Creative-Clips for her wonderful graphics and making my resource possible.

Enjoy!

RATING/REVIEW:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐"Am your newest follower (2017) - I love your work! When completed, this will make a wonderful display in the class! Thanks heaps for producing and sharing!"

This sheet is (hopefully) not your basic "favorite color and food" list. I try to provide a concise but helpful list of questions that will not only help you get to know your (new) students, but it will help them learn about themselves and their peers in deeper ways. Who knows, it may even minimize conflict too!

Download and use in your upcoming school year!

Another ALL ABOUT ME activity

It might say 5 pages, but a lot of it is for you as the facilitator of this activity.

ALSO, SUPER IMPORTANT: A teacher friend who taught 2nd grade for about a decade and is now in a 4th grade class used this, and the kids struggled with the term "cope" and "personality trait" so children ABOVE 4th grade would be ideal, and younger students will need modified questions and a TON of guidance.

*This is an older product. I've kept it active because it still provides generally the quality I hope to provide. I appreciate the grace as I've improved my store since starting out!

Use this banner to select a student weekly. I hang ribbon under the banner and clip the child's name to it. I also teach two sections so I actually hang two ribbons! The kids love seeing who will be selected each week! I try not to base the student of the week on grades and try to focus more on improvement shown, effort, etc. I give each child a small certificate that they can take home, and the best part is that they also get to visit the treasure chest! Hope you find it helpful in not only managing classroom behavior but also in improving student morale!

Using a registration poster guide that showcases different actions for students when their name is called can be beneficial for various reasons:

1. Active Engagement: The registration poster guide encourages students to actively participate and engage during the registration process. By assigning different actions for each student to perform when their name is called, it adds an element of excitement and encourages them to be alert and ready to respond.
2. Classroom Management: The poster guide can serve as an effective classroom management tool. It helps streamline the registration process by providing clear expectations and routines for students. When students know the specific action they need to perform when their name is called, it reduces distractions and creates a more organized and focused classroom environment.
3. Sense of Ownership: The poster guide allows students to have a sense of ownership over their registration routine. They can choose an action that resonates with them or even suggest additional actions to be added to the guide. This empowerment fosters a positive classroom culture where students feel involved and valued.
4. Fun and Positive Atmosphere: Incorporating actions like waving, dabbing, giving a thumbs up, making a peace sign, saluting, or pretending to blast off adds an element of fun and positivity to the registration process. It creates a lighthearted and enjoyable atmosphere in the classroom, enhancing students' mood and enthusiasm for the day ahead.
5. Multi-Sensory Learning: By incorporating different physical actions into the registration process, the poster guide caters to various learning styles. Some students may be kinesthetic learners who benefit from physical movement, while others may find it easier to engage and remember information through visual cues. The poster guide accommodates these diverse learning preferences.
6. Classroom Community and Connection: The registration poster guide can contribute to building a strong sense of classroom community. When students perform their designated actions, it encourages interactions and connections among classmates. It creates an opportunity for students to greet and acknowledge each other, fostering a supportive and inclusive classroom environment.
7. Reinforcement of Routine: Consistency is essential in establishing classroom routines. The poster guide acts as a visual reminder of the expected actions during registration, helping students internalize the routine over time. It serves as a reference point for students to remember and follow the expected procedure consistently.

Overall, using a registration poster guide that showcases different actions for students when their name is called promotes active engagement, positive classroom atmosphere, and a sense of ownership among students. It can enhance classroom management, create a fun and inclusive environment, and reinforce routines while catering to different learning styles.
